I don't know whether to laugh or laugh hysterically.
Don't recall Square opening a Patreon page asking for monthly donations for FFXV and showing absolutely nothing for it.

Then I recommend you take your complaints up to Eromancer, otherwise you're preaching to a choir.
I'd agree that they could have stuck to their first goals 2 years ago and people would have been content with the way the game was headed. We'd probably see a completed game by now. And yet, the devs decided to do a 180 and create something more of a passion project, and this is the spot we're at today - scarcely any demos (3 battle demos so far) with monthly posts limited to concept art and tech explanations.
This forum is used to monthly updates with regular content updates, so obviously this game isn't for most people.
No they didn't, but they also changed the game play-ability a few times that warranted the game's release delay.

Valid points? Comparing an RPG Maker game to a Final Fantasy title? Seems like you're the one licking something, mate, and it ain't salt.
An RPG Maker base, with DAZ Studio 3D models and props. What exactly do you believe they were working on all this time?
You sound like a expert in the field of game-making, maybe you can elaborate on their whole work progress.
People insulting those who disagree with the popular opinion. Please get back on topic, or lack there of.
I'd rather people with more money than sense support something like that rather than the bonkers mad stuff like EA games.
At least people will run out of patience with this....... eventually, which is more control than what gamers have over EA's nonsense.

Major difference being even though EA are full of shit practices, if I bought an EA game i'd get a game.
These guys haven't released anything since 2016 and still expect money.
With EA you may be paying for shady anti consumer practices but at least you get something for your money, here you get nothing.

I think I made my opinion regarding their "work process" rather clear - I do not believe there is a work process, they are just scamming gullible people like you.

We tried to explain ourselves to him reasonably first. He is trying to compare a fucking RPGM game with triple AAA games development and acting like 6 years of development for it is normal.
Dont waste your time, he is not going to understand that regardless of what they are working on IF they are working on anything, this is a fucking scam.
Meh, I hold to my belief that they're not ill-intentioned, just bad at prioritizing and ultimately responsible for the decision to effectively reboot the entire game after an already-sluggish release schedule.
But at the end of the day I'm aware I might just be being scammed. There are games with full real-time gameplay and pixel animation with much more commendable development speed and releases.
It genuinely saddens me to think how much promise this game had, especially during the period in which inner backers were getting new content for the underground lab with the fleshreaper and mutant pods/tentacles etc.
Would be still be hilarious if they jsut scrapped the game and blamed "hard drive loss" or "piracy".

Little late to the party it seems, but dude....you lost your argument with this post:
"Then I recommend you take your complaints up to Eromancer, otherwise you're preaching to a choir."
If you had been paying attention to his Patreon over the years (yes, years), you would have known Eromancer actively deletes and destroys any negative feedback he receives wherever he can. That's why this is one of the few places "the truth" is preached to we unwashed heathen masses and also why he still receives thousands monthly for fuck all. Many don't understand what has happened over the years.
On a side note, one of the best HRPG games ever is Noxian Nights.

@bloodmane , like @Arrngrim mentioned, the self-moderation of Patreon allows such bullshit artist to run scams for ears, by carefully cleaning any critique from their project pages. It's only in places like this one, where people can be warren when there is something fishy.

To add to what @stoper said, for those who missed it or are new to the discussion, eromancer also got the ulmf thread locked when we called him out on his behavior.

in the ulmf thread back in November, he responded to someone asking if a demo would be released in the next six months with "yup, sooner than that!". And here we are six months later and not even a battle test, lol.

Everywhere thread I've seen about this game just becomes a never ending cycle of continuously pointing out how they are not doing anything and getting money for it through Patreon. It has been a long time that I've been following this thread, and I've followed the ULMF thread before that. And not a thing has changed. No updates on the game. One person that's "defending" them from time to time (defending is in quotes because no one truly believes Ecomancer are doing the right thing, I don't think) and of course the game and the development of it has been compared to a AAA game more than once.
In the past I have pledged one or two months, and in the end I pretty much got shit all out of it. I know that I will not support this game, or really any game on Patreon for that matter, just willy nilly. There has to be proof that they're doing something good, or the game has to be really amazing. There are very few Patreon developers that fit in either or even both of those categories. So I am staying away from that platform as long as I can. If there is an h-game that I may be interested in, I'll see if I can try it out by pirating it first, and then I'll consider buying the game when it comes out.
